LIKE TEXAS's FLAG!!! (?) That's a fun(?) joke when said by Latin-Americans, but when said by others... it feels uncomfortably weird, y'know x'D?

While a lot of countries celebrate their independence day, Chile celebrates its first Government National Junta. To celebrate the reunion of a lot of rich people who discussed what to do to keep the Spanish Colony stable while the King was prisoner of Bonaparte and the chaos ensued is a bit weird, specially considering that after the Junta started a Civil War and horrible massacres between the servants of the Royalists (after all, the king was king because of God) and the servants of the supporters of the Illustration (after all the idea of a Representative government was economically interesting) all across the country (cuz no Royalist nor Illustred pipol participated in the fight, they just sent their plebe to kill each other x'D). Yeah, Chile's story hasn't anything to do with what is taught to us during our entire lives.Because HISTORY IS COMPLICATED *Deus Vult, Infidel!*

Rio Abajo - Ana Tijoux (fragmento) (...) No hay manera que tu regadío pueda ní robarme La fértil abundancia que yo traigo en mi equipaje yo vengo a compartir Vida en este viaje. No hay fuerza que supere mi naturaleza ni maquina alguna que tenga mi destreza. Me cantaba así la abuela grillo susurrándote dulce en el oído. Soy el agua, soy la vida soy la madre de la fuente cristalina soy un canto musical de claves soy la llave de este mundo y su brebaje. Soy la lluvia que te brinda el aguacero el chubasco permanente de amor verdadero Soy el volcán del cielo, la lava creciente que recorre los campos de hielo. (...)

Down the River - Ana Tijoux (fragment) (...) There's no way that your irrigation can even steal me The fertile abundance that I bring in my luggage I come to share Life in this travel. There's no strength that surpasses my nature nor any machine that has my dexterity. Sang me so the grandmother cricket whispering sweetly in your ear. I'm the water, I'm the life I'm the mother of the crystalline fountain I'm a musical singing of keys I'm the faucet from this world and its potion. I'm the rain that brings you the downpour the permanent squall of true love I'm the sky's volcano the growing lava that runs through the ice fields. (...)

*Looking for a Ragnarök's Guardian Nidhoggr's fandragon... and a Shadow of Nidhoggr's fandragon too*

-I wish to be released from my thousand years of loneliness. I wish to leave my post, I wish to leave these roots, I wish to leave the Yggdrasil. I don't want to be alone anymore.

-Oh, and I can even leave if I want...

-...Uh? Who's there? Who's talking to me?

-...

-I'm hearing voices again? Am I becoming crazy? But I know I can leave if I wish... I want to leave the shadows, I want to leave the loneliness. But it's my labor as a Guardian to protect the roots...

-But I'm so alone... I'm so weak, I'm so sick of this loneliness...

-I'm so sick, I'm so weak, loneliness is turning me a mad... The Yggdrasil doesn't need me anymore...

-No one needs me anymore... but I'll finally be free and I'll not be alone anymore... I'll finally meet the sun's light... I'll meet the winds and the lesser trees...

-I'll see, I'll be free, I'll know how life is over the roots, I'll... But... how will I feel?

-It will be nice, I'll be well.... Maybe I'll just wander way a bit and return...

-I'll just wander away.... I'll leave my shadows behind...

The Guardian wandered away, the Guardian left its position, The mother Yggdrasil felt the loss and the whole universe lost stability...

The sweet words of Surtr, his possessed puppets, the unwary people of Midgard. The seal was broken and Surtr brought fire and devastation to the whole world, the new Ragnarök was here.

But his army was stopped, the Guardians of Midgard, allied with every valorous and strong warrior and adventurer, worked together to stop Surtr and force it back to Muspellheim.

But Surtr didn't. Shattering the weakened dimensional veils, he retrieved to create an army of Jotuns, feeding the shadows and hatred of every world.

Like veiled shadows, the Assassin Guild of the now formed Continental Guard Alliance, pursued every trace of Surt in all the gaps he left opened. And they'd found in the New World of Ash Vacuum, where both Jotumheim and Ljusalfheim meet.... they found Her.

A rumor of the proximity of the camp to a giant root, an enormous cave under it, the root carving in the endless depths of the shadows. Both Sapha and Laphine fighting an endless war to take control of the root, a war in pause due to Human's apparition.

The Sapha were mining the miraculous minerals of the cave, the miracle of stopping the curse of the Jotums that painfully turned them into crystallized trees. The fairy people Laphine felt the Great Tree weakness, they blamed the Sapha's industry for damaging the roots, and the bloody war flourished between the worlds.

Meanwhile, as humans used the gap to communicate Midgard and the New World, the last Puppets of Surtr were divided and panicked as they realized what they had done, some of them disappeared in the dimensional Gap in the very first retreat of Surtr. A Guardian Assassin followed the trace of one of them to the very depths of the giant cave. Then, to the camp arrived rumors of mysterious ruins, carbonized remnants of both Sapha and Laphine, a mysterious seal, a monstrous power, a Shade that drained the living and magic power of everything nearby...

A small party of adventurers were sent to investigate. A knight, an assassin, a priestess, a monk and a sorcerer had to work together to survive the horror of what was thriving in the depths of the roots.

*Looking for a Ragnarök's Guardian Nidhoggr's fandragon... and a Shadow of Nidhoggr's fandragon too*


Inside the cave, the party of explorers found incarnations of the Storm Wind, chained to blades and turned into monstrous slaves made to Slay any Intruders. The descendants of Ratatosk weren't any less powerful, fighting along mysterious Spirits of Water to protect the ruins.

While the warriors used sword and magic to force their path into the depths, the Assassin that was with them just sneaked until he arrived to the Great Sealed Door. His surroundings were strangely calm, at least until the Knight reached him, panting for the effort of the race.

-I'll not allow you to go anywhere alone! I'll not tolerate any of your treacheries, thief!

The Assassin was about to reply, but instead just fulminated the Knight with his eyes, before running back to aid the others, who were left without a meele warrior to help them fight against the monsters.

The Knight spat to the floor when saw the adventurers arriving to the peaceful ruins, all of them giving their thanks to the Assassin for the aid offered. Again, the scrawny assassin gave a fulminating gaze to the opulent knight.

-You all are too slow! -The Knight complained.

-Hah! If you were so fast and strong you should have helped us to clear the path!

-Let the thief do the job of the swordman! Haha!

The party answered half joking, half truth.

Then they focused in how to open the Door, it could not be that hard... But as they reached it, a dark repellent energy started to force them back. Using all of their willpower they tried to touch the stone, but the power suddenly grew so strong that it pushed the entire party away.

-Damn seal. This shadow power is too strong to pass it by our own... but... how... -The sorcerer whispered, talking to himself.

They started to seek for any traces of magic or mechanisms that may kept the door sealed, and then noticed the statues of both, Laphines and Saphas, little fairy-like the first, great half tree-like the seconds, pushing the door like trying to keep it closed...

-These aren't statues! -The priestess said at the moment everyone understood that these were the petrified remnants of the previous warriors, those who died sealing whatever was behind the door... -If they could tell us what happened here... I know I can do it!

It took a lot of energy for the sorcerer and the priestess to break the curse and reanimate one of the fairies, but when the fairy was free of her prison of stone, it screamed in panic, still trying to push the door before realizing the quietness and silence of its surroundings. The fairy left the door, trembling. Tears of fear and pain began to fall from her eyes.

-How much time...? -She asked to the humans, somehow already knowing that they were there, and somehow knowing their intentions. Her wet eyes were suddenly filled by a powerful determination -Will you actually fight against it?

-What's behind the door?

-... An horrible Menace, the Nidhoggr, a Dragon made of a Shade lost in Madness, devouring and sickening the Tree of Life. I ask you, the entire universe needs you! If the Shadow isn't stopped now, nothing will stop it after it devours the power of the Yggdrasil!

The group looked at each other, like considering their own strengths. ¿Were they strong enough to defeat something like that?

-Please! We don't have much time! I can feel the screams of the Tree of Life! I can feel its pain!

It wasn't lie, the environment felt like if every particle of air, earth, flesh... everything was like a pulsing fear, madness, pain. From the Door was coming a Dark Madness, repellent power that sucked any energy, the same that turned all those people into stone.

-We will... do it. -The monk took the words of the mouth of everyone, hesitating about saying "try" instead. - But what will happen once we open the Door?

-It's just the entrance to the labyrinth that goes towards the seal of His nest. He will wait for us in the depths of it, protected by evil monsters and spirits. But it will not appear in physical form unless one of you take the bless of the Mother Tree within the nest... what will happen after that, it all depends of you. -The Laphine then took off a delicate and beautiful collar from her neck and offered it to the monk, a blessed jewel filled with energy of the Yggdrasil.

Fast as a snake, the assassin took it off of their hands, and put it in its own neck without even thinking in the surprise of his companions.

-I KNEW IT! THIEF!-The knight's sword cut the air while the surprised party angered against the thief. -YOU WILL NOT GO ANYWHERE WITH THE JEWEL!

But he stopped as the sorcerer stepped forward protecting the thief, everyone stopped when they saw how the skinny guy was looking at them with the same surprised face of the Laphine. It was suddenly clear that the assassin wasn't going anywhere but along them. The sorcerer calmed his comrades with a wide movement of his staff, rapidly explaining what the immobilized guy wasn't able to say:

-It... it's the best option, as soon as someone enters the nest carrying the jewel, the Nidhoggr will emerge... It will give us time to be prepared...

-I... I'll carry the jewel, I'm the least useful for a fight against a dragon.

-Exactly, you'll be the last one to enter the nest.

The idea was well received, even if it turned that pity looking guy in the leader for some time. The only one who wasn't smiling was the knight, although the assassin itself felt deceived for the brief misunderstanding that show to him how his friends weren't confident of his loyalty.

-We will do it. -Said the assassin, grabbing the door handles and pulling to open it. He felt the devouring shadow lurking to consume his very soul, but the bless of the Yggdrasil kept it away from he and his comrades. I'll do it, I'll show them that I'm not a thief. Everyone here is a Hero, or a Fool, including me.
